General Council on Finance and Administration ("Ezra Year-end Statistical Report")

Each year, United Methodist Churches submit a Local Church Report to the Annual Conference, which is entered into the database of the General Council on Finance and Administration. Pastors/secretaries can log into the GCFA database (http://ezra.gcfa.org) and view their local church reports going back to the year 1999.

MissionInsite is a demographics program that provides churches with instant access to community information. You’ll get desktop, web-based access to demographic data for a variety of geographic levels. The system also provides local churches with the ability to locate their church members and others affiliated with their church on their map.

2000-2016 Membership Roll and Average Worship Attendance

Click on the graphic pictured right or choose format here: PDF / Excel

Figures in this report are color-coded to show, for each year, whether each church's membership roll and average worship attendance have stayed the same (black font), increased (green font), or decreased (red font).

* Churches' membership roll audit sometimes results in correction of figures and/or inactive members contacted by the Church and encouraged to rejoin fellowship. After appropriate time, efforts, and conditions as outlined by the Book of Discipline, some may be removed from the roll by the Charge Conference.

These reports do not include Hispanic/Latino Ministry congregations. Considered mission churches, they are not required to submit statistical reports to GCFA.

* Historical memo regarding impact of natural and economic disasters: Hurricane Ivan was in September 2004, Hurricane Dennis was in July 2005, Hurricane Katrina was in August 2005, and Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill began in April 2010. Other: dramatic drop in the housing market and significant increases in insurance costs.

*Historical memo regarding new, merged, and closed churches: In January 2016 the Soundside Campus of Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church became a stand-alone Church named Community Life United Methodist Church, with Rev. Scott Veroneau as pastor. In 2014 St. Andrew and Bellview merged to become Bellview United Methodist Church and closed St. Andrew. In2014 The Journey new church start in Crestview closed. In 2011 Crestview St. Mark United Methodist Church merged into and became a second campus of the Niceville United Methodist Church. (You will thus see membership information for St. Mark zeroed out as membership transferred into (under the umbrella of) Niceville.) In 2010 the Chumuckla and Elizabeth Chapel United Methodist Churches merged to become Chumuckla Community Church - A United Methodist Congregation. (You will thus see membership information for the two original churches zeroed out as membership transferred to the new church.) In 2004 the Pensacola District gained three Alabama Churches (600 members total): Clear Springs (131 members), Lillian (441 members), and New Hope (28 members). In 2003 the Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church closed (27 members transferred out to zero), and Summit Park United Methodist Church merged with and became a second campus of Cokesbury United Methodist Church.
